After Ming Xi and the others disappeared in Guiyun Mountain, the poisons in the bodies of those who were controlled by hatred broke out. Fortunately, with the medicine left by Ye Zhen and the imperial doctors sent by the court, they gradually improved.
Yan Xiaoliu's father thought of killing his family with his own hands and was in great pain. One night, he destroyed his martial arts and wandered alone. He only left a letter for Yan Xiaoliu, telling him to be a good man and not to look for him again.
Because of Ming Xi's disappearance, Yan Xiaoliu felt guilty and ashamed to see Ming Yu. He was arranged by Ye Chunnan to go to the barracks.
At that time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he must make military contributions and make a name for himself in the future. Only when he became the most powerful person in Jin could he protect Ming Yu.
Later, he learned that Ming Yu waited at the palace gate every day for Ming Xi's return. He wanted to tell Ming Yu the truth, but Sixth Wangye said that sometimes not knowing the truth was a kind of protection.
Therefore, he kept it a secret.
Only today did he tell Ming Yu everything. He thought Ming Yu would be angry, but she forgave him.
Yan Xiaoliu told Ming Xi what had happened in the past few years. His words were concise but very clear.
"Were you bullied in the barracks?" Ming Xi asked. He used to think that Yan Xiaoliu should go to the barracks. With Yan Xiaoliu's talent in this area, he would definitely be able to make contributions in the future. Now, it was no different from his original idea.
"I was in General Ye's barracks. Everyone was very good to me." Yan Xiaoliu whispered, "General Ye also taught me martial arts and invited a teacher to teach me how to read."
Ming Xi smiled faintly, "It's good like this."
"Your Highness …" Yan Xiaoliu's family had experienced upheaval and his temperament had also changed. Four years had passed and he had become more mature, so he understood what the return of Ming Xi meant to Jin.
"My parents are now living in Prince Qin's Mansion." Ming Xi said lightly, "It's good like this. They don't want to change, and I don't want to change either."
Yan Xiaoliu looked at Ming Xi silently for a while, "I understand, young master."
"What young master? You are not a servant of our family." Ming Xi looked at him with a smile, "Just call me Ming Xi."
"How can this be …" In Yan Xiaoliu's heart, he had always thought that Ming Xi was the person he wanted to follow. How could he call him by his name?
"Then why are you called Ming Yu?" Ming Xi lightly asked.
Yan Xiaoliu was embarrassed. "Yes, then I'll call you … Young Master Mingxi."
"Ming Xi is Ming Xi, what young master." After Ming Xi finished speaking, he strode forward to pull Shang'er, "What do you want to do?"
"Mingyu's wishing lamp is stuck. I'll go get it for her." Shang'er's hand was grabbed by Ming Xi, and her body, which was about to fly out, returned to the ground.
"There's no need for you to go get it." Ming Xi smiled. "Let Yan Xiaoliu go get it."
If Shang'er were to fly out like this, ordinary people who did not know martial arts would think that she was using qinggong, but Yan Xiaoliu would definitely be able to tell the difference.
Yan Xiaoliu stepped on the water and retrieved the White Rabbit Wishing Lamp that was stuck on the opposite side of the river. He handed it to Ming Yu.
"Ming Yu, make another wish," Shang'er said to Ming Yu with a smile.
"The wish I made just now definitely won't come true …" Ming Yu's expression was desolate. She only hoped that her family would never be separated again. Could this wish not come true?
Shang'er said, "Just make another one."
"You can only make a wish once," Ming Yu said.
"Who said that? I just made a dozen wishing lanterns, all for the same wish. Look, there are so many wishing lanterns in the river. The heavens will definitely pick one to fulfill the wish. The more wishing lanterns we place, the higher the chance of being chosen." "That's right. Shang'er earnestly comforted Ming Yu, "I'll make a few more wishing lamps for you. It will definitely fulfill your wish."
Ming Yu carefully thought about Shang'er's words and realized that they made sense.
The two young ladies held hands and went to put down the wishing lamps.
When Ming Yu put the wishing lamp into the river, he felt a surge of spiritual energy in the air. Ming Yu's wishing lamp floated further and further away with the flow of the river.
Ming Xi looked at Shang'er, who was smiling brightly. He knew that she was secretly helping Ming Yu.
"This young lady is …" Yan Xiaoliu was secretly surprised. He had been by Ming Xi's side for a while and knew that Ming Xi never smiled at girls. This was the first time he had seen him so concerned about a girl.
"She's called Shang'er." Ming Xi introduced, "You can think of her as my other younger sister."
Younger sister? Yan Xiaoliu glanced at Ming Xi, "Yes."
"It's getting late. We should go back," Ming Xi said to Shang'er and the others.
Ming Yu continuously put down a few wishing lamps, but she still looked unsatisfied. Hearing Ming Xi's words, she glanced at him and seemed to have thought of something. She lowered her head and walked to Yan Xiaoliu's side.
"It's so late. Ming Yu, don't go back to the palace tonight. Come home with me," Ming Xi said to Ming Yu naturally.
"Go home?" Ming Yu was startled. "To Uncle's house?"
Ming Xi said with a smile, "King Qin's Residence."
King Qin's Residence … That meant she was going to see Imperial Father and Imperial Mother.
She had said that about Imperial Mother at Uncle's house today. Would Imperial Mother want to see her?
"I'll send you there." Yan Xiaoliu said with a smile, "I won't be able to rush back to the barracks in time. I can only stay at King Qin's Residence tonight."
"Okay." With Yan Xiaoliu accompanying her, Ming Yu felt a bit more courageous.
When they were about to leave the wishing pond, they saw An Ge and Fire Phoenix walking over.
Lin Yanbei was walking behind them at a moderate distance.
"Ming Xi, Shang'er." An Ge's wide sleeves spread out like a butterfly. "Why don't you go and look at the lantern cars? Those people are screaming excitedly when they see me. These ordinary people must have never seen such a peerless beauty like me."
"…" Everyone was silent.
"That's right. They must have been charmed by you. You look like Bai Hua Fairy up there." Only Shang'er praised.
Fire Phoenix clicked her tongue. "I think they're looking at me, not you."
"Those girls are throwing flowers at me. Who would be interested in a brat like you?" An Ge shouted.
Lin Yanbei silently looked at An Ge. "They're throwing flowers because they want Bai Hua Fairy to bestow them with a beautiful marriage and beauty …"
"Who the hell is Bai Hua Fairy? She can bestow marriage to others?" An Ge raised his eyebrow. How could he not be compared to Bai Hua Fairy?
Ming Xi smiled. "Shifu, Bai Hua Fairy is a fairy from the legends. She's in charge of all flowers in the world."
"So those people think you're a fairy." Fire Phoenix laughed out loud.
An Ge snorted.
